If you have a normal 2 storey house, and you really want 500Mbps throughout, you will need several wired AP, and not mesh WiFi. Deco M4 also only supports up to 300Mbps, so not sure what the guy is talking about. You will need at least the TP-Link C9 or A9. I would recommend the C2300, but you might not have the budget for it.
Using STB WiFi is not possible. Best is still wired connection.
Hi, I managed to exchange the Deco M4 for something else. I wanted the Archer A7 but they didn't have it.
After looking for some time at what they had, and within budget, I settled on the D-Link Dir 878 (AC1900).
Set it up and it works ok, my PC can get 500 mbps down and 100 mbps up. Wifi is about 67 mbps down and 60 mbps up. Just need the fast connection on my PC, the Wifi speed is more than enough for other users at home.
I set it up using the default firmware but the internet connection was sluggish. I updated to the latest firmware and it fixed the problem.
I could enter VLAN settings in the default firmware and change one port to IPTV for HyppTV. After updating, now the VLAN settings page is empty. HyppTV still works fine. Did the update hide the VLAN settings? Now the VLAN settings page is empty.
It works fine so I could ignore it, but I'm just curious, and would like the control.
For Wifi, should I disable the SmartConnect, so that there is 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands to manually connect to?
